if anyone is wondering, its two T4 bulbs for the display and six T3 bulbs for the buttons.
Tee thank 🙏🏻
Do you have a link to them?
Are there only 8 bulbs total for the entire display that you detach. I thought there were 10? Did I miss count?
Tee thanks man
MVP TRD right here!!!!!
You're my hero! Dealership told me 5 years ago they'd have to remove entire dash and it would cost 100's plus take 1/2 day. I've been living with it since that was excessive. Today I bought 2 bulbs at 4.00 each and spent less than 5 minutes popping them in. Serious good Karma coming your way! Thanks!!!
My dealer said the same. Obviously they didn't really check what it would take to replace these bulbs. Pathetic but typical.
Where did you get the 2 bulbs for $4 each?
Thank you for the demo. I replaced mine easily following the steps. I ordered the bulbs from Amazon $7 each. I never thought it could be done without going to the dealer.
Thanks for the demonstration it did help a lot.
I called dealership and they were asking 7$ a piece. I stopped by Napa auto parts and got 3$ a piece and the problem solved.
Again, thanks
Thank you Scott for your public service. The dealer quoted me $200 to replace and I’m glad I said “no thanks”
Thanks for this video. I had been driving around for months with a dark control panel, too lazy/cheap to get it fixed, and no idea
how complicated it would be. With this video I got it done for $14 (two bulbs from Toyota dealer), took less than 30 minutes (plus 1 hour round trip to Toyota dealer for the bulbs).
thank you !! took maybe 10- min start to finish. including putting tools away..i spent more time at dealer getting bulb..lol That was the worst part...after getting screw out i slight pulled on unit got the feel. then one hard pull came out nice..dont let dealer frighten you very easy job. thanks again eric
Thanks so much for taking the time to make and post this video. I'll be changing my bulbs soon. I bought the bulbs and then (can you believe it?) misplaced them somewhere. They are pricey, but it's a pain having a dark panel so I'll buy them again and then when I find the others, I'll have a spare set :)
Can’t believe I did not look this up before! Been driving around for months at night with a dark screen. Getting this as soon as I can get the bulbs from the dealership!! Thanks for the video!!!
You are very welcome. Hope we are able to make your job easier. Let us know how it goes. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you soooo much!!! This video was simple to follow and amazing. Didn’t need to even ask my husband to do it for me!! I was able to order the parts from Amazon and even that was simple. Appreciate it!!
Thank You for this! I am an Electronic Tech and ever since the internet I now fix everything with out Manuals. These videos make repairs so simple for me.
Thanks so much! Just completed this repair on my 2009 4Runner (the two little bulbs,not the dial bulbs)- went exactly as shown without a single hitch. Pulling the panel off was a little scary, it's definitely tightly mounted, but off it came (and on it went back.) Having the light(s) back is great on its own, but saving the money with the DIY is AWESOME feeling! Sooo satisfying! Thank you again!!
So glad I could help. yeah, taking off the panel was a little nerve racking for me as well. It makes a sound like your destroying the thing. Enjoy being able to see your LCD panel again :)
This was perfect! I love the fact that it covered everything thoroughly and yet was done very quickly. Thank you!
Just replaced all of these lights in my wife's '05 4Runner (except the pesky Reset/Mode one, it's different). Your tutorial really helped make it easy. Thank you for posting, good sir.
They are all different bulbs sizes, there is a diagram that shows the bulbs you need. I found it on Google search.
Thanks for info- very easy. Dealer wanted 227 to do. bought 4 bulbs for 18 and had it done in less than 10min. Many thanks
Your a life saver,now I can get right to replacing those bulbs. Thanks for the tip , didn't know how hard or easy it would be. Thanks again ,great tips.
I only wish I would have done this sooner. Great tutorial! I just popped my new LEDs in and all I needed was a phillips for the retention screw and a flat for the LEDs. 5 mins and done 👍🏼
Thanks for this video. I was able to replace some of the bulbs. The only thing is I didn't know there were various size bulbs for the various spots. Turns out the bulbs up top are a different model. But thank you for video. 🙏🏾
Tried two local mechanics we use, both did not want to do. Have found more problems than solutions with dealerships in past. Pulled this out as recommended, replaced both bulbs. Worked just like video. 2009 Urban Runner
Such a great teacher and awesome video. Really easy to understand you too. Made all displays of work easy to see and evaluate the entire process. Wonderful job again. Thank you for your time too. God bless
You're my hero lol! Thank you for making this video. Super easy to do, took me 5 minutes after watching this video. Stupid little light has been out for two years, $7 bucks from Toyota a quick video and voila! Let there be light! Thanks again!
It's such a small thing, but like you, I was really annoyed with not having the light working. The dealership will charge you big bucks because of the labor. Glad you got it done yourself for so cheap!
@@ScottsGarage Two years later, and I have 2 more bulbs burned out again. Came back by for a quick brush up lol. Thanks again Scott 👍
Thats so great to hear! I have actually gone back and watched my own videos a few times as a project refresher...hahaha. Glad the video was able to help again :)
OMG, Thank you, thank you, thank you . . . . . . . did I say thank you ! My lights have been out for 3 years and I just refused to take it to the thieving dealership. Then I found your video.
So glad we were able to help. Where did you find the lightbulbs? Any chance you got new ones on Amazon? We are trying to find some good new legs to share with folks who are trying to make this fixed. Thanks again for watching.
I always enjoy watching a how to video and hearing the phrase, "Hopefully you can see this". lol.
Thanks! A dealer told me they'd have to remove the dashboard to fix this! I have a 2004 so hopefully it's the same process.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!! Replaced two bulbs today. Could not have done it without this informative video.Thanks!!
great tutorial i found extremely useful i bought used 04sr5v6 190k at time i wanted it 6500.00 ended up at 9,900 warranty through asc but hopefully it gets used think it cost me 1200. but yeah used car dont know history running into minor problems which are costly but my lights went out to so found it useful
Thank you soooooo much! They wanted to charge me $190 at the dealership. God bless you brother!!!
You're very welcome. It's an easy fix and I'm glad I can help save you some money. Blessings to you as well :)
Bam that price is up there. Doing mine in the morning.
Great video. Just purchased an 05 and have a bulb out on the display and one on the controller. Ordered the whole set to change them all. Thank you for the video. Again, Many Thanks!
I actually had a service rep at a Toyota dealer tell me that they would have to take the entire dashboard off to replace the bulb behind the fan speed controller (2004 4Runner). I've gone for years without that bulb working; I'm embarrassed that I didn't research this more. Now I can buy a bulb and replace it in 10 minutes. Gotta love those dealership service people... Thank you!
You are very welcome. So glad we were able to save you some money. Our local dealership quoted us $400 to do this when we initially looked into it years ago. Grateful for the TH-cam community. Thanks so much for watching.
I've found that getting the bulb from the dealer is usually cheaper than online ($4) plus no waiting. 90010-09015 is the part number for the A/C controls, 90010-09017 for the lcd
Super informative video. Few notes:
Getting the wiring harness to dislodge was impossible for me. I ended up having to replace the bulbs with it still attached. The two bulbs behind the info bar are really tough to get locked in.
I'm old and a cheapskate. My poor wife has had to drive with me for thousands of miles because I refused to pay Toyota dealer $100 to replace a $10 bulb. So this video and one just seen before by another good hearted citizen deserves commendations and gratitude. It reminds me of the enduring spirit of Americans during EU WWII where most farm kids then fighting could fix a tank or Jeep or weld. The hierarchical order of the professional Nazi forces actually contributed to them losing a terrible war--they could not fix much. As we look at technology and its debilitating complexity preventing self repair, this video counters giving over to helplessness. Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair. Thanks
damn my dude. this video really touched u huh
Great video. Took 10 minutes to replace the bulbs. Appreciate the video!!!
So I'm looking at my dash thinking I might have to start prying things off my 2008 4runner. Great video, very simple. Thanks
Thank you, with your instructions it worked like a champion.
Just successfully changed my right-hand LCD bulb for $4. Thanks Scott!
You're very welcome. So glad I could help. Thank for watching!
Purchased the light bulbs months ago from Toyota dealership. Was told labor was going to cost $75-125. Watched this video today. Went home installed the bulbs in less than 20 minutes myself. THANK YOU!!!
+seabass1964 did you have to rethread the bulbs or do they just pop rgt in?
they pop in. very light turn.
+seabass1964 you're the man....ordered them from toyota....looking forward to popping them in!
Very true, they told me the same thing, very time consuming job they told me... bunch of liars.
Thanks for this video... Thanks to you it only took me about 5 minutes to change the bulb
Thank you for your clear instructions and demonstration. The right side of the LCD screen went out on my 2007 4Runner. I will replace all the bulbs whilst the panel is off.
Great to hear we could help. Hope your job goes smoothly and you are able to save some bucks.
Thanks for the video, it really helped me out a lot and saved me lots of money. It was definitely an easy fix. My temperature control area was broken for years and never fixed it because I figured it would cost too much. But thanks again.
That's so great to hear. It's always encouraging to hear from our audience when we are able to help. Thanks so much for watching!
Perfect video. I would also add: Do not use an undersized screwdriver, the bulbs take a little oomph to get in and my first attempt half-stripped the plastic . Also, video shows well the amount of force to get the display unit out. It also took a bit more oomph than I figured and would not have tried as hard if I hadn't seen the vid.
Thank God I found this. I helped someone jump start their car and later, when it was dark, I realized that the right side of my multi function display backlight was out. So there are 2 bulbs for that unit?
Bless you! This was a perfect video.I found the replacement very easy to do.
every mechanic I've asked said the whole panel had to be replaced and wanted $400...THANK YOU!
Yeah, we have heard similar stories. It's really disheartening that mechanics are still taking advantage of people who don't have the knowledge they do. You literally can fix this problem for less than $10. So glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
That is crazy
Muchas gracias por subir ese video, lo hice con mi toyota 4runner 2008 que tenía dañadas las luces del panel del aire acondicionado y segui las instrucciones del video y fue muy fácil repararlas. Solo que compre las luces de reemplazo por amazon.
Thanks so much- just got a new (to me) '06 Runner with one side of the display out. Saturday project right here!
It's a pretty quick fix once you know how to do it. Probably took us an hour and a half at most. Glad we could help and thanks for watching.
Incredibly helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you, I thought this was going to be a huge pain, but this video made it super simple.
Thank you for the video. I’m buying an 05 and these are burned out. I was kinda worried about it. Looks very easy
Yeah, it's a pretty straight forward fix. Can just be a hassle to get the new bulbs if you don't live near a dealership. Glad we could help make the process easier for you. Thanks for watching.
Thanks!
save me $45.00
It was pretty easy, it
took me no more tha 5 min to change a burned light bulb.
BTW
bought the light bulb at the dealer for about $10.00
Scott, thanks so much for your video. Very helpful! I do have a question about the links you have posted. I ordered the bulb that you linked on Amazon and it was the wrong bulb. Can you take a look and see if the link may have changed.
AWESOME video!! Super easy 5 min replacement.
Thank you you saved me time and money. I did it in about 10 minutes. Life and money saver.
Great to hear. Glad we could help out. And thanks for watching!!
Excellent video. Thanks! My fan control knob light has been out for months. Gonna fix it this weekend. Thanks again.
Also, I've bee searching unsuccessfully for a video on replacing the headlight cluster/assembly on the 06-09 4th gen. I've found vids on replacing pre 06 assemblies but those are different in shape. Does anyone know if the attach points and hardware and process is the same for the 06-09 model assemblies?
Thank you so much coming from another 4runner owner
Hey thanks I spent only $7 for 2 bulbs from Toyota dealership.Awesome!!! I have a 2003 V6 4 runner and I want to make my turn signals into DRL; is this doable? Thanks
Thank you. Seems easier than I imagined! Appreciate the videos.
Are the HVAC controls supposed to all be lit up when the headlights are on? My wife's 04 only has the lights turned on for the actual setting it's set to. At night it's really hard to see to select the setting you want.
On my 2004 4Runner sport the left and middle temperature control switches only have lights on the button you pressed instead of all of them. So I can only see the light after I’ve pressed the button. I’m wondering if the is how it’s suppose to be or if there’s something broken. The right temperature control has lights on it at all times unlike the middle and left.
Hey, thanks so much for this video. You were clear with your teaching me how to change the bulbs in my dash. Do you have more? Any way to stop the low tire pressure blinking light?
Thanks again. Ron
Good video but I had one problem I can't fix: it unprogrammed the dial settings. The dial on the left doesn't work at all so I can't turn the fan up or down. Please help! If I raise temp the fan raises, but if I go down on temp, fan does to, so I barely have AC.
I pulled out the two top center light bulbs and they appear to be good (not burnt out or disconnected inside). Is there a separate fuse for these bulbs?
Quality content is the name of the game and you Sir have done it!
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Hope we were able to make your job easier. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks, I watched your video. ordered the lights in the link. All fixed and easy to do.
Again many thanks very helpful, but got a question. That one little damn screw holding the thing in, I can't get it out. I can turn it but can't extract it. Appears to have been damaged during manufacture. Know any tricks for solving this problem ??? Thanks again for your help.
Super helpful, thanks very much for making this video!
I want to do this myself but how do I know what bulb to order can some one plz help me out
Exactly what I need. Thanks so much!
thank you it was so in easy 10 years ago thanks for the internet we don't have to go out to the book to do this
Thanks for this video. Just swapped out the bulbs and I'm good to go!
Nice work! Glad we were able to help. Thanks for watching.
Any idea how to replace the back window roll down switch light and hazard switch light?
Not sure if its related but my two front AC vents stopped working and i only get air from side vents and one from the vent in front window, do you know what can cause this and what might be the fix? Its a 2004 4Runner SR5 - thanks
Thanks I have one light out . your video helped a lot.
Great video for an easy fix. Just replaced the LCD backlight bulb in my 2004 4Runner for $8 from the dealer. Part# 90010-09017. Shown as bulb "C" on the dealer's diagram.
I did this and it works but now the other sine is off and the bulb is still good, any suggestions?
Any idea what specific bulb size I would need for dash cluster lights for a 2011?
when im park on a sloop are hill at stop sign the LSD lite comes on plus there is a clicking sound when starting to move ? whats that ?
Does anyone know if these bulbs are available in LED's yet? If so, please provide a link. LED's would look awesome behind this module. Otherwise, great video! I replaced mine in about 5 minutes. Thanks again!
Any info on troubleshoot/repair an interment temp fan control for an 06 4Runner?
Mine still wouldn't work after replacing.. i dont know if its the Wiring or not.. but the display is still there and visible at daylight.. any info on what's the problem? Thanks...
Thank you so much! So easy! Your video was excellent.
Heya. I have a 2006 Toyota 4runner with 275k miles on the chassis and frame, and 171k on the engine, transmission, and drivetrain (2007 parts). My engine has the check engine light, VSC Off, VSC TRAC, and traction control light lit up like a Christmas tree on my dash. Also, at very low speeds and at low throttle, this sound from exhaust (I don't know if my cats are shot) is like a high-pitched rattling sound, NOT like a rock bouncing around on youtube videos you'd look up online about shot cats. My O2 sensors are all new and have been replaced WITH spacers on them. I took my car to the local automotive shop, they said to fix this they would need to mess with the exhaust, put new O2 sensors on and take the spacers off, then diagnose from there to see what's wrong. It's going to be expensive from them... I also am wanting to do this myself... I have a mechanic friend that told me that my cats need to be replaced but I'm not so sure it's the problem just yet... Any suggestions?
Thank you! What about the Airbag On/Off light?
What size philips head did you use to remove the initial screw?
Can you change the color? Does using a different bulb make it not that amber color? Or is it just a filter and so ti's always amber?
Great work just what I needed. Love my 4Runner 245k mi and runs like a top!!
Awesome to hear. We still have our 1997 Toyota 4runner and don’t plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. Great vehicles.
Much appreciated and well done, you rock.
Do you know where I can get the whole thing?, the piece you pulled out and if so what is the specific name for that part?
Very helpful....Your brilliant... Thanks for your assistance.
Thanks for the video. Mine is out and it's annoying not being able to see it.
Is the display supposed to stay on after the car is off? I’m trying to figure out if it’s draining power because when the car is off the orange light stays on and it displays the time.
Thank you for this helpful video! Do the little pictures on the knobs also light up? I just get the little arrows. The lcd screen has been out on my car for years and just now fixed it thanks to your video.
I have the same question! When it’s dark, I only have the arrows and I can’t see anything else. It’s frustrating.
@@jodymendenhall7267 Same, guessing this the correct then, annoying, but not broken..
Has anyone figured out how to get everything lit up ?
Is there a bulb to light the word "Passenger" to the right of the LCD screen?
Hey, can I install blue bulbs instead of yellow?
Our local mechanic would not touch this. After looking at your video, I understood how to remove and replace the bulbs.
The video was concise and made me a hero here with my wife. Thanks for covering everything, beginning to end. It was exactly what I needed to know. I pulled out the bulb. The next stop is the dealer.
Good Job...... Hell, Great Job!!!
Ha, love it! I've had many hero moments with my wife as a result of other TH-camrs helpful tips. Glad I could do the same for others. Happy New Year!
I have 2008 Toyota 4runner in which the fuel average is not showing, what I should do? Please advise
what if i want to make the display blue? cannot find a blue bulb
I have a problem where none of the data shows. The lights work but the data is like transparent to where you can barely see it? What do you think is wrong?
Have you ever seen a situation where just the "Up Temp" and "Down" buttons lights are out? the "Auto" and "A/C" light work fine. Any ideas or am I stuck with either lights that don't work or buying a new cluster from the stealership?
those aren't supposed to light
Great video, helped a lot! Question: does the rear window button to the left of the reset/mode buttons on the display - is there a light behind it? I just bought an 08 and noticed the button is dark at night. Thanks!
There should be, yes. Also the ring around the key should be illuminated! And don't forget to check out the often burnt-out cupholder light.
Any luck? Or do you remember what you fixed 3 years ago ?
